I translated the poem regarding a kid fishing by the river and posted it yesterday. The poem reminds me of a US pop song from the early sixties, "Mad, Mad World," sung by Ricky Nelson.
Quote
Everybodys runnin in a mad, mad world
But nobodys goin nowhere
Everybodys gotta have more than the others
Gotta have more than their share
Ever since the devil tempted woman with an apple
Weve all had a burden to bear
Now the world keeps turnin, and things are gettin faster
Nobodys goin nowhere
They say the grass is greener on the other side
When they cross over, they find
Everybodys searchin like you and me
Tryin to find peace of mind
See that little boy fishing on the river
If I could just be like him
Id close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him
See that little boy fishin on the river
If I could just be like him
Id close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him
Id close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him

PS. Ricky Nelson was a handsome teenage idol in the sixties, almost emulating Elvis Presley and Pat Boone. He was killed in an air accident sometime later. FYI, the blood from his body indicated he had been cocaine-addicted.
